The musculoskeletal system of the body is afflicted in certain individuals by a rare and chronic condition called myasthenia gravis. A person afflicted with easily fatigued and weak muscles, which weaken progressively as the day ends, is a characteristic symptom of the condition. Some of the regions of the body, which are typically affected first, are the muscles in the throat, the neck and those of the facial region. Drooping and weakening of the eyelids is the first sign of the condition. The individual's speech can have a nasal tone to it, and also characteristic are the presence of double vision and problems with swallowing food.

These symptoms of the disease are episodic in appearance and can lie quiet for long intervals. Thus the symptoms can relapses or reappear in the person and can then cause a weakening and paralysis of the arms and legs of the affected individual.
Muscular bulk is lost, though there is an absence of pain accompanying the symptoms, there is also no change in the ability to feel nor is there numbness. An enlarged thymus gland is very commonly observed. In rare cases life-threatening complications can arise because of the development of breathing problems as the condition progresses. A large majority of patients suffer only the mild form of the condition and this progress is not life threatening or debilitating.
The disorder of myasthenia gravis usually affects young women. An autoimmune attack is the underlying cause of the disorder, the immune system attacks the receptors that lie at the neuromuscular junction, and these receptors are responsible for communications between the muscles and the nerves.
Thus muscle weakness results due to the poor conduction of nerve impulses and their impaired reception in the muscles. The real cause for the malfunctioning of the immune system remains unidentified, and the cause for its attack on those receptors at the neuromuscular junction is still a mystery. In babies born of afflicted mothers, the symptoms of myasthenia gravis begin within weeks after birth; thus this disorder can be inherited. The presence of physical and emotional stress, infections can induce episodic attacks as well as aggravate the symptoms of the disorder that are already present.

The appearance of several other symptoms of myasthenia gravis is induced by an absence of sufficient levels of choline in the body.

Supplements of soy (or soy bean sprouts) are the best sources for lecithin and can be taken along with the other supplements to reduce the symptoms of the disorder.
